How to unit test a custom actuator endpoint

Michèle - Jan 4 '21 - - Dev Community

Previously, I posted on "How to create a custom endpoint to monitor Jira", this is the second part, showing how to unit test this endpoint with SpringBoot MockMvc, Mokito and PowerMokito.

Here the list of dependencies required :

    implementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    testImplementation('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test') {
        exclude group: 'org.junit.vintage', module: 'junit-vintage-engine'
        exclude group: "com.vaadin.external.google", module:"android-json"
    }
    testImplementation group: 'com.konghq', name: 'unirest-mocks', version: '3.11.06'
    testImplementation group: 'org.powermock', name: 'powermock-module-junit4', version: '2.0.9'
    testImplementation group: 'org.powermock', name: 'powermock-api-mockito2', version: '2.0.9'

We first need a class that load our configuration class used by the JiraConnectorService.

@TestConfiguration
public class TestConfig {

    @Bean
    public JiraConfig getJiraConfig(){
        return new JiraConfig();
    }
}

Test the service to be sure it returns the good data according to the Jira endpoint response.
To do so, we need to mock the Unirest.get() call and response.

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PowerMockRunnerDelegate(SpringRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(Unirest.class)
@Import({TestConfig.class})
@PowerMockIgnore({"javax.*.*", "com.sun.*", "org.xml.*"})
@SpringBootTest
public class JiraConnectorServiceTest {

    @Mock
    private GetRequest getRequest;
    @Autowired
    JiraConnectorService jiraConnectorService;
    @Autowired
    JiraConfig jiraConfig;

    @Test
    public void getResponseTimeTest() throws Exception {

        JsonNode json = new JsonNode("{\"result\":10}");

        HttpResponse<JsonNode> mockResponse = mock(HttpResponse.class);
        when(mockResponse.getStatus()).thenReturn(200);
        when(mockResponse.getBody()).thenReturn(json);

        String mySelfEndPointUrl = jiraConfig.getHost() + jiraConfig.getApiPath() + JiraConnectorService.JIRA_MYSELF_ENDPOINT;

        PowerMockito.mockStatic(Unirest.class);
        when(Unirest.get(mySelfEndPointUrl)).thenReturn(getRequest);
        when(getRequest.header(JiraConnectorService.HEADER_ACCEPT, JiraConnectorService.HEADER_APP_JSON)).thenReturn(getRequest);
        when(getRequest.basicAuth(jiraConfig.getUser(), jiraConfig.getPassword())).thenReturn(getRequest);
        when(getRequest.asJson()).thenReturn(mockResponse);

        ResponseTimeData data = jiraConnectorService.getResponseTime();
        Assert.assertEquals(HttpStatus.OK.value(), data.getHttpStatusCode());
        Assert.assertTrue(data.getTime() > 0);

    }

We have to use PowerMockito and @RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class) annotation to mock the static method Unirest.get(..).

We can only use one @RunWith annotation, that's why we add @PowerMockRunnerDelegate(SpringRunner.class) to load the Spring context.

Then test the endpoint :


@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@Import({TestConfig.class})
@AutoConfigureMockMvc
@SpringBootTest
public class RestJiraEndPointTest {

    private static final String ACTUATOR_URI = "/management";

    @MockBean
    private JiraConnectorService jiraConnectorService;
    @Autowired
    private MockMvc mockMvc;

    @Test
    public void healthDtl_DOWN() throws Exception {

        ResponseTimeData data = new ResponseTimeData();
        data.setTime(-1);
        data.setHttpStatusCode(HttpStatus.SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE.value());
        data.setMessage("Service unavailable");

        Mockito.when(jiraConnectorService.getResponseTime()).thenReturn(data);

        RequestBuilder requestBuilder = MockMvcRequestBuilders.get(ACTUATOR_URI + "/jira/healthDtl")
                .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);

        this.mockMvc.perform(requestBuilder)
                .andDo(MockMvcResultHandlers.print())
                .andExpect(MockMvcResultMatchers.status().isOk())
                .andExpect(MockMvcResultMatchers.jsonPath("$.status").value("DOWN"));
    }

    @Test
    public void healthDtl_UP() throws Exception {

        ResponseTimeData data = new ResponseTimeData();
        data.setTime(235L);
        data.setHttpStatusCode(HttpStatus.OK.value());
        data.setMessage("Ok");

        Mockito.when(jiraConnectorService.getResponseTime()).thenReturn(data);

        RequestBuilder requestBuilder = MockMvcRequestBuilders.get(ACTUATOR_URI + "/jira/healthDtl")
                .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);

        this.mockMvc.perform(requestBuilder)
                .andDo(MockMvcResultHandlers.print())
                .andExpect(MockMvcResultMatchers.status().isOk())
                .andExpect(MockMvcResultMatchers.jsonPath("$.status").value("UP"))
                .andExpect(MockMvcResultMatchers.jsonPath("$.responseTimeMs").value("235"));
    }
}

I first tried to use @WebMvcTest(RestJiraEndPoint.class) instead of @SpringBootTest but without success. Spring seems to not recognized @RestControllerEndpoint as a rest controller. So, you have to use @SpringBootTest and @AutoConfigureMockMvc.
